Erica Thomas
Saturday, October 28 @
11:00 a.m.
Erica Thomas, known as Chyna T, is a certified coach and
author. She recently signed a new publishing contract with RWP and will
be releasing new books soon.
In this seminar, author and certified coach Erica Thomas
will delve deep into the following:
- Importance of hiring
an editor
- Importance of
titling
- Importance of hiring
beta readers to help build/fill your story
- Importance of
descriptions (characters, spaces, locations, etc)
- How to brand
yourself properly and find your target audience
outside of Amazon and online marketplaces so you can
get your paperbacks or hard copies in homes on
bookshelves
- Importance of
understanding a passive versus active voice while
writing
- Other grammatical
mistakes: your/you're, an/and/a, then/than, of/have
- Why collaboration
with other authors can help or hurt your brand
- Learning how to
write across genres because every author is a
writer, but not every writer is an author. You can’t
only write in one genre and call yourself an author;
however you may just be a writer who specializes in
one area.
